I got bored the other day and i made a Image to script Converter. That turns the pixels of the picture into RGB values which are then loaded into game through a script.

~Please Note: I Will not be giving this program out or will be using it to load stuff that the moderators would find 'Unpleasing'~ |

| That's some smooth resolution from the little image you had when I came in. Nice job. |

| Very nice job indeed. I too was impressed with the resolution of the image. I've seen this done time and time again, but the result is usually very pixelated. I had to open your place in studio just to verify it actually wasn't an ImageLabel. |

| Agreed, very nice. Although it has no practical use it still a nice tech demo. c: |

^ You could use it for LoadingGui when it is fully released. |

This would fit well with my CIF (compact image format) file.
It's basically the same, however I've no idea how to convert images.
CIF could set out part of your image like this:
2522522522322332331681691697374774137316958289682311079239917731514631757578183183184249249249255255255255255255255255255255255255252252252190190190595958303030151515171717
I've not made a viewer or editor for the format yet or any DLLs for it to be understood by Windows. The good side is that it is lossless and is extremely compact and contains no possible hacks due to code not being able to be injected. It's actually 2-3 times smaller than JPEGs or PNGs and doesn't lose any quality and supports 8-bit alpha. Apart from it being used nowhere, I see no downside. It can even be more dense by using hex and then allocate single-character keywords to identify common colours, meaning one less character per occurrence (two for non-hex). This means the compression is stronger with bigger pictures that have large single-colour spaces. It also means you can use a limited character set (alphabet with 0-9) to represent an entire picture.
The CIF format could be configured to have CYMK colour set instead of RGB, but it would be less efficient, even though it may have more quality (does RBG have less quality than CYMK?)
Basically, my format is amazing and should be used everywhere possible. |

Nice! A compact, high resolution image will be nice for a loading gui.

@Pre...
If you're not talking about the ROBLOX Studio environment, and you're comparing it to PNG and JPEG, then I'd like to ask what the file extension is?
.cif is already in use.

.cif for what? That's a bit unfair :(
ciform? Most extensions are like 3 characters, I guess I could have more :D
.compactimageformat
The only program that can render CIF images now is Roblox, but I'm looking into getting an HTML5 rendering and also a LOVE program to do it. Then, perhaps when I have decided to pursue it more, learn some C++ or team up with one of you guys to make a Windows shell to support it, then maybe get a patent, then maybe ask Paint.NET and other image editors to support, then I'm winning :D |

Find professionals and talk to them about your image format. I am sure they will point out why it's not that great (no offense). |

I think .cif is some sort of CD related file.
I think Roxio used it for images when burning to CDs/DVDs, but don't quote me.

It's a Corel Disk Image thing.
I don't really care about the file extension, I'm more interested in what Seranok said. Where are these image professionals? |

| I created one of these a while back, the only reason it didn't work out was because frames were soooo laggy... Assuming you used frames that is. ;P |

| The main difficulty is processing .png files into your table. |

| Your file (.cif) is Crystallographic Information File, which is a standard text file format for representing crystallographic information. |

| I don't believe that you have a smaller image format than png or jpeg... I refuse to accept this. Unless you're a supergenius :D |

.ico
Is smaller than a png/jpeg.
If that's what you were talking about...
